Cleaning and sealing with Universeal .

[beanz]

we applied with a sponge at around a 3-1 ratio.. it was dirty lol ... left to dwell for around 15 to 20 mins then agitated with a bristle hand scrubber , then wet vac'd up to see result ... then applied another wetting of extreme to make sure we got deep into the pitting.. the second wetting worked a treat for the stubborn bits... wet vac'd up and then a wetting with clean water to neutralise..

pic 4 is a 50/50 clean and dirty shot from first wash ..

To be fair, it sounds like you put a lot more work into it hehe!

Wrong advice then , extreme is suitable for dirt etc but you will need a different make up for grout haze.. universeal do make a grout haze clean up liquid.. use the right products for the right job . 🙂

Yep, i know they do, it was on the shelf next to the extreme clean lol! The guy in CTW insisted it was better... Grrrr! I'll know for next time 😉

Then go back in and slap the toe rag :lol:


Me and PHG did a comparison test with Extreme and against LTP grimex... and the result was a draw IMO..


Just to add though for other readers, always check the suitability of a cleaner with the stone choice at hand.. not all cleaners or grout residue removers are suitable for calcium based stones..

:lol:

That doesn't suprise me Dave, as we all LTP formulas are very strong... I would be interested to see how a comparison between the two products for removing topical coatings, sealer, waxes etc?

Will have to see of we can arrange something.. 🙂

The Extreme clean will work well on that Slate floor removing the sealer coating.

is it okay on all limestone and stone floors? or is there any chance of etching?

 

[DHTiling]

It is ok for limestone but not checked for strength on polished.

There is a link in my OP.
